Hey Dennis, I was curious on you thoughts of Josh Naylor. Has his defense improved enough to be a MLB left fielder?
Thanks!

@Derek Y. Hi Derek. It's definitely improved, but it's not to the point where it's regarded as good enough to be league average. If the universal DH becomes a thing within the next couple of years, the Padres would really benefit. I suspect Naylor's bat, which team officials rave about, will drive him to the majors soon, whether in San Diego or somewhere else.
